When making the decision of whether to buy from o'seas there are things to watch in terms of your homework

A - When calculating exchange rate make sure you are using the 'buy rate' and not the market rate (the one which is commonly listed towards the end of the daily news)

B - In addition to potential fees like GST there are often currency conversion fees calculated on the amount when using credit cards etc to make your purchase

C - Check the shipping method as some may seem cheaper but they often come at a cost such as no coverage for potential damage from transport
